Can you be more specific?
Is it a size issue or sub-pixel rendering or something else?

The problem is likely to be caused by Ubuntu... and there is a solution
but it is non trivial to get it running: Ubuntu uses Xvfb, other distros
use Xdummy. See:
http://xpra.org/trac/wiki/Xdummy
Fedora and CentOS also have patched dummy drivers in their RPM
repositories, which allows us to improve DPI handling, see also:
http://xpra.org/trac/wiki/DPI
And in particular:
